Success! At least so far.

install devfs (compile devfs into kernel first)
link -s /dev/tts/0 to /dev/pilot
chmod 777 /dev/pilot
Connect cradle to the SERIAL port

Synchronization seems to be   r e a l l y   s l o w   compared to USB
syncing with my XP machine at work. But at least it's communicating now.
I'm happy.

I wish Kyocera included standard USB connectors. It would be great to be
able to sync my digital camera directly to my Smartphone.

Now to see if I can sync my GnuCash registers. I installed FreeCoins.
Now I have to figure out how to set it up.
